Hey Everyone,
I must say I was shocked by the news of the Wafi city robbery just as everyone was, and I was even more shocked by the details of the crime ..its just flabbergasting that two people can steal jewelery worth 5o million in less than two minutes. The crime really made me question the safety procedures in Dubai malls. Why is the glass of the jewelery store breakable, although there is unbreakable glass. I think the answer is that Dubai or the UAE's safe reputation and it's low crime rate especially crimes of that nature didn't bring officials to even see the need for security procedures against such crimes. After all it is the first major crime of that kind , and hopefully the last, to be committed in Dubai. I believe that following this crime there will be completely different security insurance in the malls of the UAE. The Dubai police and its Head Mr. Dahi Khalfan dealt with the incident with open mindness and didn't try to hide details from the media. Reports about the crime were all over the media in the Arab world.
I believe that the way Dubai police dealt with the crime, will minimize the effects of the incident on Dubai's safe reputation and on tourism in Dubai. People who have lived in the UAE for years, like myself, as well as others from outside the country will not be intimidated by the crime and refuse to let it affect Dubai. However, all UAE residents hope that the police will act instantly to both expose the full truth about the criminals and send them to jail as well as take all precautions against the possibility of another major crime as such happening in the UAE. And let us be grateful to God that there were no casualties.
